Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 21 Giacomo's Past

When I come to the school, I join the department of Music in the school, I like music that I've been working hard to get into this university, and I'm not going to let this chance be wasted.

I had a lot of good friends at school, but my best friend has to be Gladion Aether. We have been battling together for a long time, and although he was in a different department than I, we still hang out often as brothers along with some of our friends.

When the third year has come, I never saw him again in school, there is a plague, and the number of students coming to school decreased.

"So you were going to stay at the Alola Region?" I ask him on the phone. "You won't be able to come here anymore?"

"I'm sorry." Gladion says with a slightly guilty tone. "My mother thinks that it is dangerous to go back to Paldea because of this plague, so I was forced to stay here at the Alola Region. But it will be fine for me... It has been a long time since I met my sister and she had been worried about me for a long time."

"I see..." I frown. "Well, but anyway, I was nominated to be the Student Council, I am not sure if I can actually be one..."

Gladion looks at me and says, "Congratulations, you have always been some sort of leader, I'm sure that you're perfect to become the president of the Student Council."

"You think so?" I smile a little. "I mean, that really means a lot... Being the president of the student council seems to be a big job... Thanks for the vote of confidence, bro."

"Anytime." After Gladion ends the call, I decide to work hard so I can actually become the president of the Student Council.

During the time before the election started, I have been looking around the university to see what can be improved. Whenever someone needs help, I will also help them out. Such as their Pokemon stuck on the tree, I would climb up and bring the Pokemon down safely, or give out some potions for injured Pokemon on the way. Everyone seems to like my helpfulness and eventually, I was elected to be the president of the student council.

"I finally did it... I'm now the president of the Student Council..." I smile as I look at the sky. "I'm going to change the school better, and I'm not going to give up!"

And now that I have become the president, I remember that my slogan is to help as much as we can, so I decided to put a suggestion box so that those who have suggestions will be able to speak to us.

Day after day, I find that there are a lot of suggestions in the box, a lot of the suggestions aren't actually related to school, something like can we eat ice cream in class or something else. Sometimes I have to stay up late to look through every single one of the suggestions, and when Friday comes, I decide to list the new rules that I want to add into our school rules.

"Male students' hair must stray no further than 1.8 inches below the nape? What kind of rule is that?" One of the council members asks.

I say in a tired tone, "Some students suggest that because they just want to differentiate the gender so that they won't be treated as gay or something..."

"And what about this? Ice Cream stands shouldn't be established in the food court. This is not what we are supposed to change!" Another member says.

"It is because some people waiting in line for the ice creams that cause them to come to school late, and the teachers are annoyed that the students aren't paying attention to class because they're busy eating their ice creams."

And ever since I become the school council president, the argument with the other council members have been getting more and more, and in the suggestion boxes, complaints about the changed school rules are becoming more often. I have been stressed because no matter what I do, it is always not right.
